Thanks, Terri! I've been patiently waiting for any word on my beloved Christian! Don't get me wrong. I'm happy that the book is coming out in paperback rather than hard cover, but having to wait so long is driving me crazy!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the excerpt of Under the Vampire Moon on your website! Really cleared up some questions I had had about the story line from the other excerpt from Bite before Christmas! Nice insight into M. and J.'s honeymoon trip also, as I wondered why their son (much loved as he is), would be at their honeymoon! Really looking forward to the new book now( like I wasn't already). Thanks so much for the sneak peek!

Well, I think that it shows how much interest there is in the story of how I met my lifemate! Teeheehee! Don't forget, GND, that the release date was pushed back after the format was changed from hard cover to paperback.

It amazes me that a book's release date should be pushed back so far just because of a format change. The old-fashioned publishing industry maneuvers like an oil tanker. I love paper books as much as the next person and I appreciate the economy of scale that large publishing allows for. I also appreciate how important it is to many of you that the book be in paperback since not everyone has an e-book reader or listens to audio books is much as I do. That considered, I'll put up with the wait.

I suspect, though, whether we like it or not, huge changes on the horizon for the publishing business. We'll still get our stories but, just as with the movie and music industries, the most popular ways we get our content are starting to change. I'm personally okay with it. I'm not going to give up completely on paper books but, a little revolution once in a while can be a healthy thing. The important thing is not the medium but the story.
